Members of Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 Annual Report 2009–10

Tables 25 through 38 provide data on personal position allocations.

Staffing allocations are the number of positions allocated by the Prime Minister under the MOP(S) Act. At any given time the actual number of MOP(S) Act employees may differ from the number of staffing allocations if, for example, not all positions are filled or one position is filled by two or more part-time employees. This information is also tabled at each Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration hearing, and is publicly available on the Parliament of Australia Senate website at http://www.aph.gov.au/SENATE/estimates/index.htm []
